It worked today, then I restarted server and its not working any more, tried to logout/login computer, didnt help.I then removed the ServerBots mutator, which I already have disabled in its .ini file, and now ServerMenu works again.

It didnt work before but this time it worked but it was abit messy to do the copy-and-paste of the whole color chart into ServerColor1c.ini because it was just one color code on each line but after 38 it had some extra spaces so you could figure out at the next column of 38 started.

I cut and paste manually, wow that took some time, and ended up with this

On the lower area they are just placed from left to right, what a mess, so I cut and paste them into columns

Better but still a mess.

I looked at the original color chart and it was 6 columns with 38 color in eachand I could fit it in ServerMenu if I cut in half for 2 coloumn with 17 colorsmaking it 12 columns.

No I didnt want todo this manually again, but I found an paste option in theeditor, EditPlus, that could paste as columns, perfect. I was much easier butit had inserted tabs and spaces. I did alot of search and replace and started UT2004 to see how it looked, and there was still some spaces here and there.

Cant use the "block" symbol, "███", using "iiiii", 5 x i which works pretty good.Eventually I ended up with a perfect color chart with "iiiii", 5 x i, except for one place, "iiii" with 4 x i, thats weird I thought and it was hard to search for so I looked manually and all had 5 x i, weird, I thougth I was going mad.

I then located the coloum and line and added an i for 6 x i, then tested and it was perfect.

Here is the code in ServerMenu

6 x i which looked perfect

I like minialistic design so I wont use alot of colors and dontlike the scrollbars, ruins the black and clean look. I will tryout some text colors later on.

Another thing, I was on another gameserver and it had something that looked like ServerMenu but also a workaround for it it not supporting hyperlinks, to open the webbrowser.They had short names you could type in console and do it, ie type "donate" and the webbrowser for that link opened.

I tested my links with the command OPEN url, which works but still the long url adress

I had tested the ServerMenu today on the mapVCTF-CTC-EscapeFromNewYork-b1+only because it had a nice picture :-) in offline (SP) mode but now when I was doneI tried to start the server with that map and instantly it crashed the server, I thoughtthat I had fixed that problem, see the TS. Tried several times but same, then I started the server with VCTF-DG-Arctika that been working and it started.

I tried to switch to another map, VCTF-SecretWeapons, but it coundnt connect to the server hadnt crashed, I tried again and it worked, tried serveral other mapsand they work, even the VCTF-CTC-EscapeFromNewYork-b1+which Im currently in works.

I tried again and restarted UT2004 and the server and the mapVCTF-CTC-EscapeFromNewYork-b1+and instantly it crashed, restarted UT2004 and started server and the same map but without the ServerMenu mutator, and it works.

I removed all spaces to get the 5 x i closer together which makes it easier to see the color difference.

This background is pretty bright and ServerMenu background i a little transparent and bright spots comes through somewhat.

I made a color coordinate system to make it easier to find a color

The color codes has some letters and numbers removed,

I added some extra, color 2a, 2b, 2d, 2f, that I, on my monitor can make out some difference, might be color calibration etc etc.

PS note that color 4n have wrong color but that is the 6 x i problem code, its a "No-Break Space", which probably is not implemented is the UT2004 character set that ServerMenu uses. I will copy the color 4k and forget about it, it looks similar.

Is there any tool that can do the color codes in WYSIWYG?...not the ServerColor style,mark the text with the color you want and not see the color code at all, then pressa key so see and copy and paste it to the Servermenu1c.ini
